I didn't understand why the anti IM brigade here didnt understand the end scene or appreciate it. It all make sense, to me at least. Right from the very beginning of the movie, we know tony was speaking as a 1st person to someone. We assume it's directed to us (the viewers) at the beginning.

Mr genius is having PTSD, he probably could just walk straight into a normal civilian clinic to see the psychiatrist.

It also opens up to an opportunity to have a light banter between the 2. (after avengers, we know this 2 have a 'thing' together  smile.gif ) 

Of course it would be in tradition as past movies to have mr nick fury walk in. But it done, that's done, mr shield had recruited his avengers. They expect nick to walk in to ask Tony stark permission to recruit more supes? Or perhaps revealing the idea of going against that other secret secret organisation that has their own membership?  shocking.gif  rolleyes.gif  

No offense guys but come on cool2.gif

Mr downey jr is mr tony, he is at his element with narcissistic remarks. Why can't the little brigades see that?

well, people were expecting some sort of build-up to the avengers 2 story..like what they did with past marvel movies.

but what do you get after waiting for like 10+ minutes? just tony talking to bruce banner..lol. after the mandarin, the post-credits scene is another slap in the face.
*
well, we can check our expectations  smile.gif 

We already know tony & nick isn't the coziest buddies, mr stark did say he doesn't necessarily dance to Fury's tune or completely in agreeable with shields (the organisation) ultimate motive of arms development (obsession with the tesseract and all)

I believe we still have other super super hero, not sure its the guy with the hammer thingy,  or the man in the spangled blue & white suit, perhaps the big (green) man.

This IM3 is in line with avengers (tone, action, humour) and the previous IM installments. I look at the complete storyline the crossovers, I emphatic with the assessment if it's view as a standalone (in a way). 

Also in the grounded real world, a lot of negotiations are still yet to be finalised, right? We know of avengers 2, but I think the studios will, is looking forth to chunk out the other supes movies first.


Chill la cool2.gif

Really? are we now only obsession on box office banters? tongue.gif

I do know about the little brigadiers (could almost be mistaken as 'shall-not-be-named' filmmaker's fine elfs sweat.gif ) are all gleefully in anticipation of (their) god-like saviour. It suppose to cream all Marv's super super dudes tongue.gif tongue.gif

Dont worry, you are one of the few who have an interesting discourse about movies despite difference movie genres.

It kinda helps sweep over one syllable brigadiers. It's fine of them after the initial shock after the premier or excitement but when its too often repeated .. (tsk)
Dont even start with those overbearing 'ones' whom months before the actual screening uses only single syllable rolleyes.gif tongue.gif





QuickFire has a valid point in regards to the narration. cool2.gif completely in agreement.

no i agree, good box office shows public acceptance. Above average ratings have been judged by the reputable sites & popping steadily.

For me I don't really cared if where it ends out, I don't use records as a yardstick just to justify my watch. I seen some illogical comments of those who would (other movies)
Fine if its from a review, or friends recommendation i suppose that one may use as a gauge to watch or not to watch.


so it seems..
IM3 gaining, the brigadiers will not be happy

"Iron Man 3" is the least 'realistic' of the Iron Man films. I know it's a superhero movie, but "The Avengers" sort of de-railed the realism factor (that was the direction Jon Favreau was going IMO) that present in "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2".

If you think about the plot of the first and second Iron Man films, you'll understand. "The Avengers" changed it all, and whatever direction that Iron Man was going had to be compromised.

If there was no Avengers film in between "Iron Man 2" and "Iron Man 3", this third outing with this plot would have been received quite negatively.

Also, for some reason, the third Iron Man film just seem to want people to see more Tony Stark, less Iron Man.

Does the man make the suit, or does the suit make the man?
*
i scurried the net & found some interest quotes that has a good rib about it.

mind you it was 4 years ago no relation to the movies (IM or any but just a general question)
"Is it the suit that makes the man, or the man that makes the suit?"

QUOTE
Great question! kudos to you. i believe its the man that makes the suit. Any dumbass can wear a fancy shell and still be a dumbass.
But a worthy, intellegent man can wear a crappy suit but still be an intellent person.

QUOTE
Excluding the obvious jokes about tailors...

A suit never makes a man. It might slightly alter his confidence, but ultimately he is the same man.
However a suit can make an outcome.
e.g.
"I'm not going to hire a guy that looks that scruffy!"
vs.
"That's a sharp suit - that guy's going places - I'm gonna hire him."

One should never judge a book by it's cover...
...Nor a person by their attire.
Unfortunately we all do, even the most liberal of us.

Jesus didn't wear double-breasted armani suits, Gandhi didn't roll in a tux, and most of us feel more comfortable in jeans and t-shirt.

However mafia dons, loan-sharks, dodgy car-salesmen, and politicians that cheat on their wife wear suits all the time...

... but for some reason, even the most liberal of us appear to be a bit naive on that point...



and recently

QUOTE
Actually, given the larger percentages of women who can sew, and of women working in clothing factories, (and sadly in sweatshops as well), I'd say it's more likely that a woman makes the suit.

we know that he is all brawn, it was quite obvious & we were delighted nolan captured it beautifully. It might however piss off some that he was just that whilst the true brains was the shadow figure that been on bruce's back all the time.

i believe its been mentioned they haven't even showed it in china. Quite a number of minutes added in fact.

Slightly intriguing but nothing whatsoever that determines the storyline. Well, it gives the china market something to talk about.

Maybe they help to operate on killian at first? (first picture). maybe thats where he found inspiration in china for a 'nemesis' as a front and him being a puppeteer?

if it's that way, it will be too obvious for the western watch.


Knowing the obvious, probably still will wont dent the china market i suppose, cause so long as some (chinese) leads are in there?? tongue.gif

But I wonder why. Isn't the US supposed to get all the movies first before any countries? I mean, all these are US-based movies; so logically, everything should be released to the local market first. No?

this part of the world has been growing, i think sometime back someone made a decision to beat the piracy, maybe? biggrin.gif

i think it was covered all over the news where it's not uncommon to worldwide gets earlier screening ahead of US of A. IM3 isnt the first.

this is exactly what i said on my previous post.  some forumers here wants the 60s and 70s style, where every super villain dresses like a clown.  you don't see The Joker in TDK dresses like a clown every time do you?  that's what we call UPDATE.

yup, stormlcc, saw that, i fully agree what you said earlier. (didn't have a chance to reply then)

It seems probably majority of the movie-goers (or at least many lyn chaps) actually prefer the literally sense. cool.gif

its not the question whether the heroes/villains dressed like a clown or 60's/70's style or something but fans felt
frustrated bcoz both Killian & Mandarin are 2 entirely different character altogether
after seeing killian & savin kicked his ass all around the place i think batman can give stark a run for his money...even with his mark42 suit on

Let say for the record in the world if such an event would take place.

man vs man (both without any suits)

Bruce Wayne should out-fight Tony Stark. After all Bruce Wayne is trained by the secret secret Sect. He can pretty much ninja out Tony.

IF however the banter between the 2, it will be a close fight, but ultimately i think the more extrovert Tony Stark (at times being pompous & all) wins.

No organic organism can withstand 3000 C... I suppose it's fine that's the death/exploding temperature of the Extremis humans... Let's just say Killian etc can achieve 2500C and above to melt most metals.

Let's just say Iron Man made some of his suit out of some Tungsten composite (with heat protection barrier), it should be able to readily handle temperatures above 3000C and not be melted apart.

Besides melting of handcuffs on Tony... for the chain to be melted off Tony's wrist should have suffered severe burns.

thanks ariffred01 [spoilers tag]

The chap accepts the concept but still contradicts himself of not to, because he b e l i e v e s that sticking to the comics shd be it, even metaphorically speaking, so technically he is not agreeing with himself but choose to align himself to lean on one side of the fact (abeit loosely)

I suppose a classic example agree to disagree.

Perhaps a little confuse chap he is.

Perhaps that's what actors do for a living, 'act'

On that pararell analogy, would you say Tom hanks "Forrest gump" was as waste, cause they got him to act like a retard?
